I used a lot of shell extensions in Windows and windows file explorer. I'm trying to choose a linux distro, and want something barebones that I can customize. I used CrunchBang many years ago. Is there a lightweight window manager / desktop environment that I can add functionality to from a large library of extensions?
Is there a better forum to ask this question?

Re: Lightweight Window Manager with largest library of shell extensions?
Openbox is great. It is extremely flexible for people who want to tinker. I've run OB only with no further DE under a variety of distros for many years. It's elegantly minimalist and you can make it do anything but make coffee. Only caveat is that, last I checked, maybe a couple of months ago, the mailing list wasn't working, and there is no Openbox forum AFAIK. There is, or at least used to be, and I presume still is, an LXDE forum where there is a fair amount of Openbox discussion.

Link to the research report on my wiki site. I may continue adding to it.
